iDoodle Developer Blog

Sorry for the long silence.  I haven’t had too much to write because my day job has been keeping me pretty busy and my Netflix queue was feeling neglected.  The good news is that iDoodle2 and iDoodle2 lite are doing quite well in the app store.  iDoodle2 lite is the most popular drawing app by far and the overall comments are pretty positive.  I read a wonderful little story about iDoodle2 lite saving the day here that made me smile.

If some of you want to share your art and see what other are doing with iDoodle2 and the other drawing apps on the iPhone you can check out iartmobile.com.  There’s also a poll where you can vote for your favorite iPhone app. 

Right now I’m gathering ideas and features for the next big version of iDoodle2 and iDoodle2 lite. It may be a bit since I have another iPhone app that I would like to finish up first.  I’m having fun with it and I hope some of you check it out when it hits the app store.  Till then, peace. 

Well we finally have a fix to iDoodle2 and I hope this was worth waiting for.  There’s still a lot of development to be done to make this the best app possible, but this update goes a long way towards making it a very useable app.  If you do find any bugs please let me know and I will work to fix them in a timely manner.  Also look for a new version of iDoodle2 lite that will be out pretty soon.  If you have any ideas of what you’d like to see in future developments please e-mail or comment.  I leave you with a look at what a real artist can do with this app.  Thanks so much to Ryan Stiles for sending this amazing image done with iDoodle2 lite. 

Thanks to everyone who has checked out iDoodle2 lite and written their reviews.  It’s great to know that there are people out there who are using and enjoying the fruits of the many long hours spent on this app.  Speaking of long hours I recently re-submitted my iDoodle2 1.0.1 update to Apple and have made a few more improvements that should hopefully yield to a great app for all of you to use.  Thanks again to everyone who has bought iDoodle2, I again apologize for the bugs in the 1.0 release and hope to make it up to you in the future.  Anyway have a great weekend everyone.  I’ll probably be spending mine getting a few of the requested features into iDoodle2 lite.

Well the lite version of iDoodle2 has made it’s way to the app store (sadly ahead of the iDoodle2 update).  It looks like a lot of people have had a chance to check it out and the overall feedback is quite positive.  I haven’t cracked a top 100 list yet (that I know of), but with a bit of luck and maybe a better logo more people will get a chance to check out this app.  Thanks to everyone’s support in the comments section on iTunes and in purchasing or downloading these apps.  It means a lot to me and I hope that I can pay you all back with good support and new features.  Thanks again.

Hello everyone.  It’s been fun and exciting (if sometimes frustrating experience) having my new app up in the Apple app store for the last two weeks.

I want to apologize to everyone who has been inconvenienced by any of the bugs in version 1.0.  I unfortunately had to push the program out the door and did not take the time to properly test all of the features on all platforms.  The major bugs (I know about) have been fixed and are just waiting on Apple’s approval to go out to everyone.

In an effort to avoid such problems in the future I’m hoping to find a few beta testers for my future releases of iDoodle2 and some other apps I’m working on developing.  If you might be interested please send an e-mail to feedback@idoodleapp.com.

Speaking of feedback I’d love to hear about your experience with the app so far and what you think is missing.  Also send some images, I’d like to see what’s been created.  Thanks and happy doodling.

This is my first post.  I’m hoping to keep this fairly up to date as I continue working on the iDoodle web app and start working on a native application.  I’d love to hear your comments on the app and what features you would like to see as this project continues to evolve.
